Alan Michael Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Oft that was tough, struggled with too much gear on and no water at the start, cheers to Paul and big Gregg for getting me round.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted December 19, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well that was a banger. Usual etiquette of last man standing applying after Largs and after New Year was blown away in wind today. The adrenalin rush from being able to get out seemed to affect quite a few bods! Started with about 16, 2 or 3 left before Gourock, same again turned off at Cloch. Then from Inverkip it was last man standing. Regroup at Largs was very brief as it all kicked off again. 2nd regroup at W Kilbride hill seemed a moot point as the hammer was mashed again after a mile. I eventually got pumped at Greenacres with Iain A, Gregg and Alan horsing on into Howwood. Chapeau to those who rode up the coast in that wind. Sometimes getting a right doin on the bike is good and today was one of those for me. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted December 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Got such a kicking could not hold on to wheel on west Kilbride road. Prepared myself for solo effort so imagine my dismay when both Ian Archibald and Gregg Omalley come back down west Kilbride hill for me. I could have cried. Paul towed me for a while then Archivald went to front and game over for me. To cap it all got puncture on Barrmill road but at least got a tail wind in to Howwood. Well done Iam Greg Alan Paul & Colin. Tough boys Feel very broken today P McDonald and Colin McPhee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted December 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Fairly enjoyed the run to the cloch but Alex ensured me that we would get a tail wind home , fair to say that didn't happen went up the clune and was pedalling hard to keep going on the hill down to Kilmacolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin McPhee Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Couldn't agree more with Paul's report don't know what was up with me today but had great difficulty holding on to wheels in the wind today. Hopefully better to come now that holidays are here ! Legs blew finally on the wee bit after gate side turning left towards green acres but a good humping never did anyone any harm !

2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted December 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Good fun today folks and great report by Paul. Good to see Archiebald practicing his race strategy for the new season. Turned off at Largs Haylie Brae intent on catching a southerly to Lochwinnoch. Met a certain Mr O'Neil at the bottom of the Haylie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted December 20, 2015 Committee Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Well done guys. I'll only have two rides under my belt before Jan so the Auchentiber Road out of Kilwinning is really going to hurt. Looking forward to it. Â Is there any appetite for a boxing day short blast before the rellies appear? Coast to Cloch Point, left at Inverkip rounabout, up to Loch Thom then back along top of Greenock, Port Glasgow, conveniently passing my house about 12?

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted January 2, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 So compact bunch of 10 worked very well and after 75 miles I had average 20mph. Chapeau to the 6 JWCC within that mini peleton. Got a bit grippy for me up the dreaded drag and on the run in but grand to see so many digging deep. Â Interestingly, for me anyway, that average is just what is required for the Arran x 2. And of course it included lots of traffic lights, roundabouts etc. which are not on Arran. However the route is flat round the coast unlike Arran. On the plus side we spent most of the day with 2 bodies in the wind which would not be done on Arran. So, the plot thickens but I believe the double is doable ! Â #goodworkJWCC #teamdoublecomingtogether robster82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Is there a topic that you cannot bring around to Arran??? Â Needed that today after far too much over-indulgence. Even with the stroll from Barrhead my average was above 19 mph. Â 13 weeks and Flanders will be over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
